BERLIN Sept lO-The coming session Of the
Reichstag will, it is threatened be made lively
by a renewal of activity in the Center party in
favor of the extension of Catholic rights. Herr
Winthorst armed with mandate from the
Treves congress, will introduce bill vesting
the direction of Catholic schools and their
tire control in the clergy. This movement on
the part of the cericals is direct breach of the
compact between Prince Bismarck and the
Vatican, under which the Kulturkampf ceased.
The Intervention of the Pope may be invoked to
influence Herr Windthorst to drop the project, but
the temper of the leaders of the Center party
will not brook further submission TO the behests
of the Vatican, and the bill is certain to be
pushed and backed by the whole power of the
concession will be taken by the government. and
Herr Wndrhorst's action will be resented by
Prince Bismarck and fercely opposed by the
majority of the house.
The short truce between the Catholic church
and the state will soon terminate, forecasting
inevitable developments or the programme OF
the Center party, which, it is certain. will speed
lily extend beyond school control. will embrace
the complete suppression of the veto of the state
on ecclesiastical nominations the return of the
Jesuits, and the restitution to the church of the
administration of all charitable institutions now
supervised by the state.

the ruinous results of socialistic principles
Another speaker HerrWoeste ad vocated prac-
teal reforms, the regulation of child and wom-
an labor compulsory workmens assurance, the
formation of syndicates of Christian workmen
under the supervision of the church, and leglsla-
ton to limit the consumption Of alcohol, all of
which suggestions the congress approved The
German Socialists regard the proceedings of the
congress with a feeling of contempt. All the
resolutions adopted by the congress ended with
a declaration of the church's supreme right to
direct social reforms. The congress concluded
by affirming that the principle of the temporal
power of the Pope was necessary to the welfare
of society.

to the election of Senator Payne, as showing the
tendency of that administration to methods
